Miha Kralj 75c6a9f135 Enhance validation tests for various indicators with external library comparisons
- Added detailed comments explaining the validation limitations for MMA and ZLEMA due to differences in algorithm implementations.
- Implemented validation tests for True Range against TALib and Tulip, ensuring directional agreement.
- Updated Ulcer Index validation to clarify differences in algorithmic approaches between QuanTAlib and Skender.
- Enhanced Ease of Movement tests to verify directional agreement with Tulip's EMV, noting differences in volume scaling.
- Expanded Klinger Volume Oscillator tests to validate against Skender and Tulip, focusing on directional agreement across multiple period configurations.
- Improved Negative Volume Index tests to compare percentage changes with Tulip, addressing differences in starting values.
- Updated Positive Volume Index tests to validate against Tulip, emphasizing percentage change comparisons.
- Enhanced Williams Accumulation/Distribution tests to verify directional agreement with Tulip, highlighting formula differences.
